Novel Consumption Cure.

"You see this car platforml" inquired
one passenger OF another on an Illinois
Central suburban train. "Well, that
platform cured me of consumption ard
saved my life. You see, l come of a
consumptive amily. My mother died of
consumption, sister and two brothers,
and year ago | expected to 90 in the
same way. AS soon as saw that | was
going down made up my mind to take
some desperate means of salvation. |
wasn't financially able to 90 to Califor-
MIA or to travel anywhere except to and
from my wo-k. So did the next best
thing. Every morning in riding into
town stood out on the platform, and,
drawing long breaths, filled my lungs
full Of the fresh air from the lake. At
first cOnlGn't inhale much, but by and
10y my lungs gathered strength, rcSpira-
tory GELS that hld long been unused began
to open and admit natures life-giving
oxygen, and in few months was sur
prised at my own strength and good
health, as were my friends. -Four times
day-for | rode home to dinner and
back again. stood on the platform and
inhaled a much OF the air as possible.
The weather made no difference to me -
rain, cod, snow, blizzard. For more
than year haven't sat down in a rail-
way coach. Now ! can draw a longer
Inhalation than any man | know, and a
long inhalation mean, filling with air all
of the cells of the lungs, bringing the
whole sytem into service, and have no
more fear of consumption. = CLicago

Thomas Kelly, who has just died at
St. Louis at the age of ninety nine, had
q remarkable career He was native of
Limerick, Ireland, anu was apprenticed
as a sailor at the age of ten. Three years
later he sailed from Liverpool for Que
bee on board the merchantman Bercie
Croyd. Bad weather kept the vessel
eight months at sea. Provisions were
exhausted, and the crew finally drew
lots to decide which among them should
be sacrificed to support the lives of the
others. Kelly twice narrowly escaped
drawing the fatal lot. The crew was
eventually rescued by the United States
man Brooklyn Eagle. Since that
date, July p, 1902, Kelley never tasted
meat lie continued his career as a sailor
and shipped and fought under the flags
OF England, France, Spain, Portugal,
and the United states. He was nine
times shipwrecked. He lost foot in
the war between the States. After the
war he went to st. Louis, where, at the
time of his death, he was coachman 10

A prominent Washington photogra-
pher recently got all the members of the
Supreme Court together in his place and
secured negative of them in group.
The proof met the approval of all the
justices except one, who objected to his
picture because, he confded to the artist,
it made him look too short The pho
tographer refused to destroy the mega
tive, however, unless the Justice would
bring all the members of the court to-

are glad to see that the long preached
doctrine of less cotton and more corn is
finally having effect in the South. The
crop report of the Federal Department
of Agriculture for the past year shows
that this is so. The movement has been
slower than was desired by some, but it
has been steady, and this sort of progress
is always the best. 1t would certainly
not do for the Southern farmer to aban
don cotton altogether, as has been de
manded by some theorists.

The last twelve months have been
troublous times for the personnel of vari-
Gus European governments. Mr.. Glad
stones ministry set the fashion by
resigning; the Bulgarian Cabinet fol
lowed next after the deposal of Alexan-
der; the French ministry had a rupture
over the sub-prefecture question, and the
Italian Cabinet resigned because Parlia-
ment did not manifest that confidence in
Its wisdom that was desirable. The
British Parliament has been dissolved
and another one re-ele ted and Germany
has been in the throes of an electoral
campaign, while it is probable that be-
fore long another appeal to the people of
Great Britain will be made. Congress
and Cabinet are more secure under our

for its adjoining is a sliding shade that
falls imparceptibly as the candle burns
lower. The shade is made in the simp'e
Bohemian glasses, in decorated art glass
of every description, and is sometimes
seen in rare icweled glass in every rich,
